■About our store
The introduction of this unmanned payment system is an initiative aimed at solving the labor shortage at retail stores, which has become a social problem in recent years, and increasing the number of sales points for farmers. Our store, which was originally manned, was closed due to relocation due to scale expansion, but by installing a full self-scanning cash register and gate using TTG’s unmanned payment system, we are now able to operate an unmanned store. Masu. (*This is the first time TTG has introduced a combination of a full
self-scanning cash register and a gate.) The problem of unattended sales of agricultural products, etc., where security is a concern, has been solved by a gate that opens and closes in conjunction with the cash register, allowing customers to shop at any time. We will reopen the stores where you can visit. Additionally, we will aim to further improve convenience for our customers by considering JA’s idle assets and expanding into the shopping district near JR Shimizu Station.
